[Hide Comment] Exit with your feet pointing right might be a bit easier than exiting with your feet pointing left. Hard pulling. May 18, 2010

[Hide Comment] I think this problem is harder than "Faded, Fat, Greedy Woman". Maybe the latter has a bit more thin technical crux, but the exit on this one is burly and painful. Sep 27, 2011

[Hide Comment] I finished this problem a few years ago, with the right beta it is solid V2. Great climb! Jan 12, 2014
